Posted: 4/22/2007 4:44:15 AM | | I was in an 80's bar in Sheffield listening to 'Wake me up before you go go' and this young lad at the side of me had never heard of the song or of Wham as he hadn't even been born when the song came out in 1984 - that was depressing and made me like like I should go home for some horlicks! | |

What great calamity will befall man that hair sprouting from collective ears and noses will mean their salvation?
Hair from the ears can be used as a dual carriageway combover while nosehair can be groomed into a nifty tache. I give you Ron Jeremy.

Posted: 4/22/2007 9:37:47 AM | Just very recently I think theres been give away signs i am indeed getting old,
heres a few,
1)I'm Pissing me y fronts all the time
2)Spending half an hour talking to the neighbour about the price of bread in supermarkets most days
3)I can often be seen huddled under one of those tartan blankets shaking whilst i watch songs of praise and feeling sad that Sir Harry Secomb no longer hosts it
4)I have recently purchased the entire back catalogue of the Waltons on DVD
5)Im helpless
6)Unproductive
7)Demanding rather than deserving
8)Wrinkly
9)started using a stair lift to get upstairs.
10)Constantly moaning about them ungrateful young uns, youth o today have no respect i tell you, when i was a lad we made our own entertainment,none of this Nintendo 68 or commodore 64 malarky,no we played jacks in the street and hopscotch,and we were lucky to get a fookin satsuma and a lump o coal for xmas,damn the fooking chavs.
Signs im getting older i think
Ive tried very hard to stay away from stereotyping within this post and I would trust people would show a little respect for those that are getting old, and avoid ageism slurs.
Thanks in advance.
vvvvvvvv aggghhhh young lady, dont worry yet , im having a Waltons and Max Bygraves night tonight, its a riot in here, the yorkshire tea is flowing,the hostess trolley full of cakes is zipping in and out of the zimmers and we are having a splending time, no need to be feeling ancient yet dear. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 10:05:13 AM | I know what a coal bunker and a space hopper is too lol
I must admit I was walking from the car park to the office the other day and car beeped at me. A rather dishy young guy was smiling and waving from the passenger seat - looked to be early 20s, I must admit I checked behind me to see if anyone else was around  . In my younger days I'd used to get all offended and think idiot, but I remember feeling flattered and thinking god I'm getting old 
edit: the fact I just called a guy dishy | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 10:53:47 AM | | When favourite cartoons from your childhood cease to amuse you. When you want people to see you as mature and adult and to stop calling you a girl because you are now a full grown woman. When you finally get your degree and need to start earning your own living. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 11:55:49 AM | | You know when you are older nowadays when your children call your Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and Matt Monro records boring. When you want to switch channels when Top of the Pops comes on. When you still call a disco a dance hall. When you think that 3am is far too late for your teenage kids to stay out at weekends. You think that the term heavy metal accuratly describes the music it names as you think it sounds like half a ton of heavy metal bolts being shaken up and down in a metal box. You get into an argument with one of your kids because he wants to grow his hair long. While you argue with your other kid because he wants to dye his hair red and green and wear a dog collar and chains. You can remember when going to a football match did not involve a huge fight between fans both during and after the game. You can remember when there was peace between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. You can remember when there was only two tv channels BBC 1 and BBC 2. | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 2:59:39 AM | When I was 18 I was a labourer on a building site, I could go out Friday night to a club, roll in at 3am and get up the next day at 7am and do a days graft no problem. I recently had a good drink, and I was ill for 2 days afterwards!!!!!!!!!
My hair has been receding and going thin on top for about 6 years but I have recently started sprouting hair in my ears. Oh yeh, my eyebrows are getting pretty on top now | |

Do what I do, colour your hair in one solid colour, then a few weeks later get it highlighted, it hides the greys pretty well for a good 6 months, but when you find yourself doing it every 3-4 months, now that is when you know you're starting to get old, or worse, you actyallu have the tweasers ready for your partner to begin plucking them out one by one and you're there for hours.

Posted: 12/13/2008 3:27:05 PM | I did have one long black hair coming out of my knee but I have no hair at all on my legs and never had any ..I just pulled it out and it never came back
But I am really worried about my face lines as they just appeared like overnight, my mum is saying that is all from smoking and I had the most beautiful face complexion out of all and I all destroyed it with stupid smoking.. | |

You need to quit then to stop the damage from worsening,smoking leaches all the vitamins from your body,causing the skin to lose its elasticity at a greater rate than normal and there is not a face cream in the world that can rectify that

Posted: 12/13/2008 3:43:43 PM | | I only remember birthdays with a 0 on the end, decades are just blurs in between. And I am looking forward expectantly to my bus pass and planning my next holiday in 12 years time when I get one. I think I am going to opt for a coastal route all around this lovely isle if I am lucky enough to get there. | |

Honor Blackman in The Avengers played Cathy Gale (not Diana Rigg)
Diana Rigg played Emma Peel.
So, I suppose it's an example of your getting old...
you remember some things and forget others!
I can clearly remember The Avengers, but can't remember what I did yesterday! | |
